If you are interested to become a journalist, you should definitely opt for a Journalism and Mass Communication programme from PCTE Group of Institutes after grade 12. The courses offer you specific subject and even more importantly skills like reporting, editing, anchoring, video shooting, using drones, mixing and editing, layout, publishing, public relations, media laws, et al. PCTE gives you hands on experience, for it is a completely practical course, and there are plenty of colleges out there which do nothing more than theory. I have done my Masters from PCTE Group of Institutes, though I am not from journalism department, but I often saw these students covering campus events with drones, gimble, and other sophisticated gadgets. Also visited this sound proof studio one day with a friend. It had this mixing and editing computers, software and equipment, with which students were working. Later in my final year I saw several videos which were shared in our WhatsApp groups, which were shot and made by Journalism dept students. I was really inspired. I am certain you can find one such college in your city, or try my college also if you want.
